Vista theme for everybody!

What did you think of the icon used for the shortcut? That one stood out for making it easier to read then a few others I have laying around. They come in different shapes and sizes too.
 
Some time back I found a cd full of icons at a store that sold old softwares. But the file format has been tha same even in Vista. Unfortunately the "stylish" ones that would look better with Vista were too dim in color for the screens here. You can find a ton of icons by searching around for them. Vista icons can be found at sites like http://www.vistaicons.com/ and http://www.vista-icons.com/
 
Ever since installing and removing the Vista transformation pack some regular Windows icons were changed to the Vista look there. IE 7, OE has the WM look now, and a few other changes like drive icons in explorer. That requires a registry edit and a text file named "autorun.inf" at the root of the drive pointing to where the icon is located and it's name with the ico extension on it. One article outlining XP for this is seen at http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/icn_drv.html
 
I did manage to remove those except for a pair of registry values where a Vista like circular icon is seen on the Windows Explorer address bar on the far right side. When a drive is starting up there the icon will appear to be spinning. The shutdown/restart/log off screen when going for one of those is still green with the Vista look there but nothing else. These two are leftovers from the transformation pack. So far no other items have been seen. But some may have seen other problems as you seem to be pointing at there.
 
Does anyone know of one of these themes for Windows 2000. I have Windows Blinds Classic but the WB theme that you posted doesn't look right.

You've installed Icon Tweeker and got the icons working?
No, it's best to keep it, if you don't, the next time you boot up your computer won't know what icons to use.

Sorry, I don't know of any for W2000 :(
The WB Vista theme is the best Vista theme out there :P
 
OK, I stick with my Mac theme (I just wanted to fiddle around with the Vista theme anyway). For some reason I get bored with all of my themes except for the Mac one quickly.
